Queen Elizabeth's Fiery Temper - A Historic Moment Captured in Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into a dramatic encounter between Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Devereux, the ambitious Earl of Essex. The image depicts a pivotal moment during their heated dispute when the earl turned his back on the queen, defying her authority. In response to this audacious act, Her Majesty unleashed her fury by striking him across the face with an open hand. The engraving, originally created by Samuel Wale in 1773 and now preserved in Temple Sydney's comprehensive historical account of England, captures not only the physical confrontation but also conveys the intense emotions that filled that room. The composition is framed with decorative elements that add to its historic charm. This powerful image serves as a reminder of Queen Elizabeth's strong personality and unwavering determination to maintain control over her kingdom. It showcases her fierce spirit as she confronts challenges from within her own court. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary clash between two influential figures. It stands as a testament to both the strength of character possessed by Queen Elizabeth I and the turbulent nature of politics during this era.
